Sailing Trip in the Calanques National Park with Lunch and Swimming

What to Expect

Experience Marseille from a different perspective with a sailing trip through the Calanques National Park, including lunch and swimming!

On board an elegant and comfortable traditional sailing boat, you can sit back and marvel at the beauty of the Calanques of Marseille.

After about an hour of sailing and passing through the picturesque entrance to the park, our first stop in a calanque accessible only by boat will give you the opportunity to go swimming and explore the local underwater life. Surrounded by countless shades of blue, this idyllic break will also be the perfect opportunity to enjoy lunch and a chilled glass of Provence rosé or other drinks served by the crew.

In the afternoon, you’ll continue your discovery by sailing along the wild coastline. During this part of the trip, your crew will be happy to introduce you to the art of sailing if you wish. A second swim in a calanque surrounded by impressive cliffs will also be possible, giving you the chance to relax in the sun on the front deck or take another refreshing dip.

Back at the Old Port, we hope to have shared with you a gentle and mindful way to discover Marseille, while respecting the Calanques National Park and creating wonderful memories together!
